Net is very much used in evening

there is girlishness in the latter from
which even New York matrons shrink.
Net comes in as change from an eter-

ecution in Allegheny county since
1919, and nearly every one that had
been made i'm the State. In speak
ing the other day with Pittsburg
Commercial Gazette reporter he
said:
az hangman's rope is made of
hemp, is flve-eighths of an inch
thick and has four strands and II
heart. The hemp, after being well
pounded, is put through the matches.
There are five of these made of the
finest steel, firmly fixed in a wood
en- frame. The teeth In the first
one are about one-quarter of an inch
wide, and the last ones are about
the size of darning-needles. The
hemp is drawn through these like
hair through comb, until it is all
the same size and perfectly free
from loose fibre and dirt. Then
comes the spinning into yarn.
| When this has been done the four
strands ofrope are made by putting
sixteen strand, of yarn in each.
The usual number of strands in Il
hangman's rope is sixty-four. Then
these strands are made into rope,
"closing," as we call it. The rope
is not stretched, but well rubbed
wi II beeswaX until it becomes soft
and pliable. 81 always tie the
noose," concluded Mr.. Rupp, "be-
cause half the Sheriffs in the count
ry do not know how to tie hang
mans knot. | have made the ropes
which hanged eighty-seven per-
sons and have just finished several
more. The first one l made was
for Mrs. Miller, who was hanged at
Williamsport in 1910
The only pleasure ever took in
making one of these instruments
of death was when j made the one
which hanged Guiteau. l took
special pains with it and put in l24
strands to make it doubly strong.
l always keep a piece of every rope
make, and have them about
thirty feet long, SO that the Sheriff
can cut off four or five feet to give
to his friends.

Utilizing Wave Power.
A Mighty Engine Moved by the Fluctua.
tiOns of the Sea.

What will the bold and busy
mind Of man next conceive of?
Read this from Il recent number of
the San Francisco Call.
After many accidents and trials
the wavepower motor, so long
talked of has at last been finished
ana proved a success. The con-
struction of this machine, or APP
paratus, which was begun in July,
1886, was at the time considered II
hair-brained scheme, but the pro-
je tors stuck to their plan, and
seem now to be in fair was to
success.
Across a chasm in the rocks just
north of Parallel Point a bridge of
heavy timbers was built. Suspend
ed from this is Il huge fan or paddle
of oak timbers, with the spreading
portion downward. This is fasten-
ed to the bri lge by immense hinges,
viii, h allow it, when i'm operation,
to swing back and forward dis
tance ofthirty-siX feet as the waves
strike it. The handle of the upper
portion of the fan is connected with
II solid plunger pump twelve inches
in diameter and having = stroke
of nine to twelve feet, This pump
in turn, is connected with a suction
pipe running out into deep water
The fan is so rigg d that it can be
drawn up out of reach of the waves
when not in use. When wave
comes in the fan is thrown forward
snd forces the air out of the puml
barrel in which the plunger works
On the wave receding the fan il
carried seaward and the plunger is
drawn out, causing a vacuum anc
Il quick rush of water into the suct
ion pipe. The force with whici
the water is drawn up is sufficient
to raise it to an elevation of $50 fee
above the tide level. should this
motor prove as successful as the
projectors seem confident it will
several others will be built in tht
s,me neighborhood, and an i'm
m -nse reservoir built on the hill Il
contain the water.

She Found His Fault.

Some persons conceptions Of
Christian conduct are as absurd as
that of very penurious old woman
who was invited to tea at the home
of a family with whom a very
worthy and dearly beloved clergy
man was staying. He was man
of remarkable purity of character
and gentleness of manner, and was
universally loved and respected.
After tea he excused himself on
account of headache, and went
to his own room.
"Were you not greatly pleased
with him 2" asked the lady of the
house of this old lady, after the
minister had retired. "Oh, purity
WELL" was the doubtful reply. 81
knew yon would be-" said the lady
warmly; "he is one of the loveliest
Christian characters 1 ever met"
"But he amt perfect" was the
cold reply. ooh, no, perhaps not;
none of us is absolutely perfect,
but really think Mr.. B-comes
nearer perfection than any man l
ever met in my life" swell, that
may be, yet he has his faults" Gle
has never revealed them here"
said the lady a little irritatcd; ;"and
| am sure he would try very hard
to overcome them il they were
pointed out" swell said the dis
coverer of faults, Everybody has
their own way of thinkin', but
when see man, as 1 saw that
man tonight, put two heapin' tea-
spoons of sugar in one cup of tea,
why, I've got my own idee bout
his Christianity, now, that's what /
have" "That is not q great fault"
said the host. But the old lady
shook her cap neutrality-suspicious.

A young lady at the seaside this sum-
mer, who has the reputation of being a
regular nymph, had singular and
amusing experience in the Land of Nod,
and one that she never tires of relating.
Before retiring one evening she was
one of a party in the hotel parlor, and
flying fish were under discussion.
Probably the subject made very vivid
impression upon her mind, for soon
after retiring she fell into an easy
slumber and soon had transport. II

about her on the broad veranda of the
hotel, land in some unaccountable
manner had small hoop such as we
girls used in playing grace hoop. While
riding big breaker a school of flying
fish came toward me, and the leader, a
big-sized fellow, darted through the
hoop which l held elevated above the
surface of the water. His example was
Immediately followed by all the others,
and they seemed to enjoy the sport i'm
mensely. All had to do was to cry
hoop-la and they would run races with
each other to get through the hoop first.
